In this interview, Rogan Kersh describes his evolution from a lecturer behind a podium to a facilitator of hands-on exercises and role-playing. Instead of resisting generational change, Kersh has embraced the charge to evolve to meet current students' needs by asking his students how they experience his classes, and really listening to their answers. As a result, his students explore case studies and do real work in the civic community. He has also developed a practical attitude toward institutional change--that small, pragmatic moves are more effective than attempts at major shifts. He notes that our graduates are entering a world that is more polarized, global, and diverse than ever before. And when considering the virtual connections between people, he is particularly concerned about the changing nature of community.
